Nope, that's not where it came from. I originally wanted to go with something that was interesting, but not just another instance of your average, everyday username. I finally settled on the (presumably) simple yet understated "Phoenix"...though whether or not that adequately accomplishes what I was trying to do is kinda in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I was going for the legendary mythical bird (wanting to let the name sorta speak for itself), but only after choosing that username did I realize just how many different things it made reference to, directly or indirectly. However, that's one that never occurred to me (I've never actually played any F-Zero games before).

Thank you for telling me, Phoenix :-) The phoenix is a rather cool mythological creature (though my favorites are angels) and because of that, it's understandable that people might think it references something else, since so many things reference it. (If you like racing games like I do, I strongly encourage getting an F-Zero game, especially F-Zero X, my favorite in the franchise) Watcher of Game (talk)

I don't understand how you think my edit on the Smash Bros. stage description seemed "trivial and useless" to you. What exactly is useless about it? All I did was add an extra image and list the two types of the same stage in just one sentence. I was trying to keep the information we have about the stage concise so it's a proper description, and not something better off put in a separate article for the stage. MarioJC
